Expedition cruises.

Get to know the heart of the earth

During the day, you will get to know the authentic natural areas. Wildlife that you get to admire from a short distance will leave a huge impression on you. Accompanied by experienced guides, you will enter areas you would normally never visit. Make the most of your trip and do activities such as: go kayaking close to wildlife and discover the wonders underwater while diving and snorkeling.  An expedition often includes a number of professionals such as a marine biologist, naturalist, kayak guide, geologist and even a photographer and/or videographer. And because travel is done in a small group, there is a flexible atmosphere. So there is often the possibility of staying somewhere a bit longer, so you get to see that one special animal. 

Ships are becoming more sustainable and environmentally friendly. For example, there are ships with solar panels to supplement electricity. To protect the seabed, modern (new) ships often have dynamic positioning systems so that anchors do not have to be deployed.

Call yourself a professor 

After this trip, you can call yourself a real professor of nature. Because you really get to know the area you are visiting. Apart from observing nature and doing activities in the area, you also get a lot of information through lectures on the ship. Through educational lessons about the animals and the exceptional area, you will soon know all about this landscape and tell everyone about how special the trip was. These lectures are organized by Seabourn on the Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit, among others.

Friends for life 

The ship carries few passengers compared to other cruises. As a result, you quickly build a very good and warm relationship  with the other fellow travelers. Expedition ships usually accommodate between 60 and 300 passengers. Every day, you experience unique moments for life together and that creates a real connection with each other. Share stories and talk about the amazing experiences with all the like-minded people you are travelling with. This is truly a holiday with animals, natural areas and people you will never forget.
